Successful Workshop on "Advancing Berry Breeding: From Phenotyping to Genomic Innovation"
On April 2-3, 2025, the BreedingValue consortium invited to its final workshop "Advancing Berry Breeding: From Phenotyping to Genomic Innovation" in Ancona (Italy). With 120 attendees joining the workshop in-person in Ancona and online, the final workshop was a great success. The event was hosted by the coordinating institution of BreedingValue, the Marche Polytechnic University (UPM) and organised as a 1,5 day event.
During the workshop members of the BreedingValue consortium presented their results from the genotyping and phenotyping activities as well as the consumer study perspective of the project. More information about the project is available on our website.
A roundtable discussion involving project experts encouraged reflection on how we can apply genomic tools in plant breeding.
The workshop also featured several organisations that had participated in the BreedingValue Open Calls, giving them the opportunity to share their experiences and outcomes.
“Many participants highlighted the significant added value that collaboration brought to their work, as well as the tangible impact it had on their day-to-day operations. By involving end-users in specific research activities, the Open Calls provided an excellent platform to directly disseminate and apply the knowledge and tools developed throughout the BreedingValue project,” emphasises Léna Prochnow, Senior Research & Innovation Manager at EURICE.
The BreedingValue consortium thanks everyone who participated in the workshop!
